Two Convicts Escape
" From Lachmund's Farm
: The first escapes from the
state penitentiary In more than a
year occured yesterday when two
convicts ran away from a prune
orchard f tve miles north of Sa
lem where they were picking fruit
and working under guards. They
were William Lovelace, doing, a
one' to 1 4 year term from Union
county for attempted rape, and
Kid Williams, colored, doing a
five year term from Douglas coun
ty for burglary. Lovelace was
received at the state prison Sep
tember 28, 1916, and Williams,
May 30, 1922.
The orchard where the convicts
were at work is owned by Senator
Louis Lachmund, member of the
state parole board. The board
was in session at the prison when
the two en escaped .
The last previous escape from
the prison or any working crew
outside occured September 8,
1921, and the more than one year
that has since elapsed is the long
est period in at least 10 years
in which there had been no es

penant winners need only one
more victory to renew their 1921
lease upon the title of world's

against a barrier that - few think
they can surmount. They must
win four games in succession to
escape another downfall at the

Masters of Shipping Board
Vessels Must Remove

WASHINGTON, , Oct. 7. For
eign and American vessels sailing
for the United States after Octo
ber 14 next will be subject to the
prohibition against the bringing
of intoxicating Jiquors into Ara-
cinay lerruonai waters, it was
announced tonight at the treasury
department.
Decision to defer in the case of
these craft the enforcement of At
torney General Daugherty's ruling
with respect to the prohibition of
the transportation of liquor car
goes or stores was made by Presi
dent Harding. The executive, in
a letter to Secretary Mellon said
any earlier attempt at enforce
ment in the absence of due notice
and ample regulation "would be
inconsistent with just dealing and
have a tendency to disrupt need
lessly the ways of commerce."
Sales C?ase at Once
This delay in enforcement does
not apply to the sale of intoxi
cating liquor on vessels" sailing
under the American flag, the
president said. Immediate ces
sation of such sales was ordered
yesterday by Mr. Harding after
the attorney general's ruling had
been presented to him.
Masters of shipping board ves
sels were ordered today by Chair
man Lasker to remove and sur
render to treasury officials all in
toxicating liquors aboard uch
ships. The order became effec
tive immediately as to ships in
their home ports and wlU be
made effective on those at sea and
in foreign ports upon their arriv
al in the United States.
Penalty Is Removal
"If any officer or member of
the crew either on passenger or
cargo ships," the order said, 'is
found thereafter to possess liquor
on ships he shall be Immediately
removed permanently from the
service and his violation of the
law reported to the proper dis
trict attorney."
A. formal , notice to foreign
steamship fines and to lines oper
ating 'privately owned American
craft ot the application ot the
prohibition amendment and en
forcement act to carriers entering
American waters probably will be
given early next week.
Meantime, Internal Revenue
Commissioner Blair is having for
mulated the necessary regulations
to enforce the law with respect
tc foreign and privately owned
Amerjcaii craft. There was no
indication when these regulation
would be completed.

usual "moaning of the
was tn
bar" upon lines putting out to sea
today, despite Attorney Geniftl
Daugherty's Tuling on high sea
liquor and the announcement of
Chairman Lasker at Washington
that all shipping board craft had
been ordered to travel dry.
Incoming vessels were first to
feel the effects of the attorney
general's ruling. On arriving in
port, each vessel, irrespective of
the flag she flew, was boarded by
customs officials who locked and
sealed all bars, liquor stores and
even the private supplies of ship's
officers and seamen.
Confronted by the possibility of
a rarched voyage across the At
lantic, a score of passengers
schedufed for the shipping board
craft America threatened to leave
the ship at the last minute. Only
when officers of the United Am
erican Mnes, who manage the ves
sel assured the thirsty ones that
"In the absence of . definite in
structions from Washington tie
bars would open a? usual, was
the ship able to depart with her
full sailing list.
There was . proviso, however.
which skeptics eyed with misyiv

officials in time to .be transmit
